PENSIONS The liberal provisions made by Congress for paying pensions to invalid soldiers and sailors of the republic, and to the widows, orphans and dependent mothers of those who have fallen in battle, or died of disease contracted, or of wounds received in the service of their country, have been diligently administered. There have been added to the pension rolls during the year ending the 30th day of June last the names of 16,770 invalid soldiers and of 271 disabled seamen, making the present number of army invalid pensioners 227,672; of navy invalid pensioners 712; of widows, orphans and mothers 22,198 have been placed on the army pension rolls and 248 on the navy rolls. The present number of army pensioners of this class is 25,438, and of navy pensioners 793.
At the beginning of the year, the number of revolutionary pensioners was 1480; only twelve of them were soldiers, of whom seven have since died. The remainder are those who under the law receive pensions because of relationship to revolutionary soldiers. During the year ending the 30th of June, 1884, $4,504,616.92 have been paid to pensioners of all classes.

Sir Your letter of Dec 30 th has been received with many thanks for your kindness In regard to my Father's Pension being all paid it was paid up to Sept 4 th the last time that he drew it and he died Dec 17 th and that is 26 years last Dec and under those circumstances I thought there might be a little that would come to me for I am poor and needy if I could get work enough to do I am able to earn my living but these hard times and high prices comes pretty hard on one as old as I am 64 years

I cannot work quite as well as I could when I lived in Med neighbore to your Father and Mother on the green and as I have to take care of myself and seeing a sentence in the President's message referring to relatives of revolutionary Soldiers that I was induced to make the enquiry if there was any chance for me as he said relatives and not widows of the Soldiers now according to this slip of paper that I have cut from his message I claim a pension for I am the last Daughter and only heir to the said Ebenezer Glazier deceased very respectfully your humble Servt Mrs Melvina W Barry

Mr President
Seeing a paragraph in your message relating to Old Revolutionaries receiving pensions and my Father being one of them and myself being his last and only heir a poor widow destitute of any means of support except what I can earn with my hands and I am so Old to earn much I am 64 years Old and

have no one to care for me please help me if you can
My Father's name was Ebenezer Glazier his discharge is in Washington it is signed by Michael Ga- briel Hollang we lived in N Y at that time and a man by the name of Joseph West of Ticondero- ga was his agent to draw his pension and there was &20 dollar due when he died as he drew it in Sept and he died Dec following and that was never drawn and when I saw that in the message it occurred to me that perhaps if I sought for it

I might get something to help me in my declining years and as my Grandfather, Great Uncles, Uncles, Father and Brothers have all been in the service of their country and I should have been if I had been a man and as I am the last of such a family and have taken care of myself for the last twenty five years I think that I ought to have a pension Mr President please grant my request, if possible and comfort the widow Alcleron W Barry Your Obed Servant If any more proof is required from me please inform me
